Network UPS Tools Binding

The primary goal of the Network UPS Tools (NUT) project is to provide support for power devices, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), Power Distribution Units and Solar Controllers.

Network UPS Tools (NUT) provides many control and monitoring features, with a uniform control and management interface.
More than 100 different manufacturers, and several thousands of models are compatible.

This binding lets you integrate NUT servers with openHAB.
